A new CNN/ORC Poll shows Trump has closed the gap with Clinton and leads her nationally in the race for the White House by two points.

A CNN/ORC Poll released in early August showed Clinton had an 8-point lead over Trump among registered voters.

Clinton's lead has largely vanished despite a difficult month for Trump, which saw an overhaul of his campaign staff, criticism of his campaign strategy and announcements of support for Clinton from several high-profile Republicans.

Clinton’s growing unpopularity follows renewed focus on her use of a private email server while she served as secretary of state, as well as alleged conflicts of interest over her connections to the Clinton Foundation fundraising.

Like previous surveys, the new poll also shows that both candidates remain mostly unliked, with majorities saying they have an unfavorable view of each candidate.

Polls taken in the past several months have shown that Clinton and Trump were ranked among the most unpopular presidential candidates in America’s history.
